SSG Jessica Bautista - I don't agree with everything he says (really, none of us agree with someone 100%) but he's a fairly consistent liberal.

I wonder if they will protest to remove George Washington from Mount Rushmore since he also owned slaves. History is there because it happened not because its pretty. If we try to forget history we are likely to repeat it. If you google there were at least 18 presidents who owned slaves because terrible as it may seem it was legal then... just like mixed marriages were illegal and homosexuality was a sin and a mental disorder. Times change and you can't blame people now for things that happened before any of us was born.. We need to unite as Americans and stop getting worked up by the media who wants to divide and conquer plus make money and get huge ratings. I am tired of the negativity. Why can't we all just get along stop playing the victim and blaming the past for our problems. Yes they are racists in this world but that will never change... Humans are like that. Just make your little piece of this world nicer.... Don't become a sheep.

SGT Maria Q. - Many people have felt this way long before Trump became President. You are deflecting again. It has nothing to do with Trump.
That said, it's not an opinion he, and all confederates, were traitors. That's a simple fact.

SGT Maria Q. - It stood so long because people were and continue to be proud of an insurrection against the United States. It stood for many of those years as a message from white people to people of color that the war may be over but they still better know their place. It stood so long because now people would rather believe a comfortable lie about who their ancestors were and what they stood for than to face up to what they did. We've a large portion of the country that trace their line back to Benedict Arnolds and their racism is no longer considered the norm; of course they now want to make it into something else.
For my part I know enough about my family history to know I've got my fair share of not great stuff too, we all probably do. We shouldn't try to make them into something they weren't.

SGT Maria Q. - May I suggest you read about the history of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It will answer a lot of questions regarding why most monuments to the Confederacy exist. I would also recommend reading the Cornerstone Address by Alexander Stephens (the Vice-President of the Confederacy) and each individual State's letter of succession if you really want to know why the South attempted to secede.
